Author Comment / Biography:Author of four books and two screenplays; frequent magazine contributor. I have four other books "in the can" if I could only find the flash drives. Retirement hasn't dampened my energy, but I am certainly a lot more blasé.

Time travel into the past is a journey we each make when recalling a memory. For this treatise, I put a distinct spin on a recent recollection unique to my own worldview; and you know me—I’m a bit abstract (euphemism for “out there”). I chose to “leap” into the present from my teenaged past. I hope ...

I was born and raised a Midwesterner; and schooled there through completion of my undergraduate degree. Even so I consider Southern California my adopted home. It’s not a question of being disloyal to my roots, but a declaration of devotion to a place where my most significant life events occurred. ...

You see, I’ve lived a colorful, roller-coaster life, have plenty of worldly and worldwide experience;...

Dennis and I have been buddies since tenth grade. I won’t tell you how many decades our relationship has spanned, but long enough to finish college, graduate school, marry (Dennis claims he has been happily married and divorced numerous times), enter the world-of-work, and ride off into the sunset. ...

Fifteen years ago I flew across the country on business several times a month. Headquarters was in Southern California, and I was responsible for building a factory in central Indiana. When compelled to wait at connecting airports, usually in an airline club, there were two things that made me uniqu...
